Additionally, a mention from PewDiePie, one of the most popular YouTubers, further boosted Mysticat’s follower count and solidified their status as a prominent content creator.
Despite their success, Mysticat has faced online harassment due to their sexuality and gender identity. To combat this negativity, Mysticat has implemented measures to block offensive comments on their channels. They choose to ignore the hate and maintain a positive outlook, emphasizing the importance of understanding and compassion towards others. Mysticat believes that people’s fear of the unknown often leads to discrimination and encourages empathy and openness in dealing with different identities.
